Went to a nearby park today to enjoy the mountain views and the winter garden. Was not expecting to see anything in the pond, but there they were- nightmare fuel 🐸

Dragonfish (family Stomiidae) are cunning predators. Although they are strong swimmers, they prefer to lie in wait and ambush unsuspecting fishes and crustaceans. This black dragonfish (Idiacanthus sp.) was spotted at 527 meters (1,729 feet) in Monterey Bay.

I just want to take a moment to acknowledge the years of hard work by volunteers trying to educate the public about the trade and sale of human remains.

Goodnight from Kimmie Attwell, waking with blushing memory of dreamy kisses shared with the girl who wears snowbells for earrings. Goodnight from Ian Garfield, sure he can hear his granddad whispering from the marmalade jar that’s full of his ashes. Goodnight from Hookland.

There is a malignant tree in the graveyard of St. Mary of the Three Crowns at Danebury that always wakes when storm darkens the day to the point lanterns are needed. Bone-fed and cursed, its hiss can be heard above the wind. Its scraping words wish only doom to men. – #CLNolan

My son is over here dropping vampire lore bombs at dinner tonight. He asked, "if you have a welcome mat at your front door, can vampires just come in?"

Goodnight from Molly Halse, relieved the stream of candle-carrying children knocking her door in hopes of toffee has finally spluttered out. Goodnight from Tim Bray, finding sleep evasive knowing Candlemas is when Wood Sprites are said to wake from hibernation. Goodnight from Hookland.

Today is Gŵyl Fair y Canhwyllau (Mary's Festival of the Candles), which is celebrated on Candlemas Day in Wales. 🕯️
Marking the gradual change from winter to spring, people lit candles, and in some homes, "every pane in the kitchen was illuminated in this way."

Happy February 1st & blessed Imbolc!
Today marks the halfway point between the winter solstice & spring equinox. Folklore tells us it's also time for a little weather divination, when serpents and badgers might emerge from their dens - much like Groundhog Day.

What a sad day- losing the wonderful Catherine O’Hara. Loved her since first seeing her on SCTV. May she rest in peace.

I cannot stress enough how important it is to do silly, frivolous things that serve no other purpose than making you happy.
